I am in the middle of a career shift.
For years, I worked close to legacy database systems. That experience taught me how to think carefully, solve production problems, and respect reliability.
Now I am moving toward platform engineering.
To make that shift visible and real, I started a public GitHub repository:
legacy-dba-to-platform-engineer
This repository is my working log. I will use it to document what I learn, what I build, and how my thinking changes over time.
Welcome to my new technical blog! Here, I will be sharing guides, architectural insights, and hands-on tutorials about platform engineering, cloud-native deployments, database administration, and automating complex systems.
What We Will Cover # In-depth technical articles on the following domains:
Platform Engineering: Building internal developer platforms (IDPs), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) patterns, and developer self-service tools. Kubernetes: Cloud-native architecture, container orchestration, scaling, ingress management, and operators. DevOps & CI/CD: Software delivery pipelines, automating GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux), and security scanning. Database Administration (DBA): Designing high-availability database architectures, automated backups, performance tuning, and database reliability engineering. Stay tuned for upcoming deep dives!
